Load Shedding Backup engineered for commercial and industrial facilities in Klerksdorp
High Eskom tariffs and power instability directly affect commercial and industrial facilities operations across Klerksdorp, Dr Kenneth Kaunda. Reyds provides engineered, three-phase commercial solar PV and battery storage systems tailored for daytime load shifting and peak demand clipping. Sites in Klerksdorp sit on the N12 corridor, where rising demand charges and outage risk make generation on site the lowest-risk hedge available.
Backup engineering that keeps production lines, cold chain and POS systems running through Stage 6 schedules.
Pair your cooling, refrigeration and commercial aircon systems directly with solar PV generation to cut high peak-demand electrical charges. Thermal pre-cooling during peak irradiance hours shifts chiller demand off the Matlosana Municipality account entirely.

Questions from Klerksdorp operators
How long does a 500kW installation in Klerksdorp take?
A 500kW plant on a facility in Klerksdorp typically takes 4 to 10 weeks from signed order, including structural assessment, Matlosana Municipality SSEG paperwork and commissioning.
Do we need approval from Matlosana Municipality?
Yes. Any grid-connected embedded generation in Klerksdorp, Dr Kenneth Kaunda must be registered as SSEG. Reyds handles the full application, professional engineer sign-off and NRS 097-2-1 compliance documentation.
Can the system run our aircon and refrigeration during load shedding?
With hybrid inverters and LFP storage, cooling, refrigeration and commercial aircon can be carried through outages while also clipping peak-demand charges on your facility account.
